Extra Tip: Apps that were installed from the Microsoft Store run in the background unnecessarily. You can modify those apps by going into Settings > Apps > Choose The App > Modify > Turn off running in background. This has helped me a lot!!

Great video Kevin!

I would love to see the following videos:

2) A guide to installing different kinds of font packs/symbols to use in presentations using Microsoft Office.

Love all your content please keep up the great work.

Hi Kevin - Great tips! Thank you again for sharing! There are aspects of Windows 11 I do love. Alexa too is pretty cool.
You just saved me with the last one!! I had a question about on how cropping sceenshots now is so blurry, but you answered it with the Snipping Tool! It's so much easier and not blurry! Thank you! So timely! Love your videos! They're so informative. You convinced me to purchase MS 365 too when I was reluctant.

I was pleasantly surprised to find this because my Aunt and I was just talking about Windows 11 yesterday. 🙂
There is something my Aunt mentioned yesterday that you might know about. She mentioned about connecting her phone with her computer. That on busy days she can use and do things from her phone without needing to get on her computer. But, one thing is there a way she can have her computer print mailing labels out by using her phone?

Hey!! Can you tell me how can we add Microsoft Guy voice into PowerPoint as a text to speech converter so that it will consider it as a mp3 and come in video export.
PLS - Don't tell me that option in that all commands bar on top cause I tried it and it doesn't come in video exports...

I have design space on my laptop that is Windows 11, when I'm on the design space I have to toggle the screen in order to get to the continue button on the bottom of the screen. But even if I toggle the screen I still can't get far enough to the bottom of the. Website to take me to the upload button on the bottom. I have tried shrinking the screen . I even had a member of geek squad go into the settings and see if they could fix it but he said that cricut. Design space wasn't compatible with windows 11. Is there anything I can do or do I need to install windows 10. Please let me know.

Hey Kevin! I had a question about Microsoft I posted on one of your other videos. For some reason I can't see the icon to create a Team. I don't know if I did something wrong. All it is showing is Activity/Chat/and Calendar. Is there something I can do to be able to create a Team and Channel? I thought I chose the business account when I created it. Thanks for your help! ☺ I am on the free version and every you tube I watch shows to click on Teams icon to create a channel. Mine doesn't have it.☹ What can I do?
